2024-08-21Documentation: Rework docs.rst into introduction.rstDaniel Scally
docs.rst is the landing page for the documentation from the libcamera website, but isn't particularly introductory. Move much of the content from guides/introduction.rst to docs.rst, which will serve as the new introductory page. Remove guides/introduction.rst.

2024-08-21Documentation: Remove libcamera architecture from introduction.rstDaniel Scally
The libcamera Architecture section of the introduction is largely a duplicate of the section broken out from docs.rst. Remove it from the introduction.rst file and consolidate anything that wasn't duplicated into libcamera_architecture.rst and feature_requirements.rst. Take the opportunity to also expand the list of Platform Support which is now a bit out of date.

2024-08-21Documentation: Synchronise camera stack detailsDaniel Scally
There are two near-duplicate instances of the camera stack details in the Documentation, in docs.rst and guides/introduction.rst. Remove them from guides/introduction.rst, with the exception of the explanations of the V4L2 Compatibility Layer and the Android HAL which are moved to the Camera Stack section in docs.rst. The Docs page already had its own separate version of those details but they are distinct and seemingly out of date - remove them.

2024-08-21Documentation: Add documentation-contents.rstDaniel Scally
Add a new .rst file referencing the documentation contents. This file is then included in each documentation page so that we can enhance the Documentation pages on the libcamera website using it. As we do not want the appearance of the libcamera in-tree Documentation to change just yet, disable the new class using the sphinx theme's CSS. To facilitate easier distinguishing between "normal" and documentation pages on the website we want to add a "documentation" class to the content of all such pages. Since this new file will be included on each documentation page it is convenient to add the new directive here - do so. As the website uses different CSS to libcamera, move the contents on docs.rst a little so that the directive at the end of the contents block applies correctly.

2023-05-04pipeline: ipa: raspberrypi: Refactor and move the Raspberry Pi codeNaushir Patuck
Split the Raspberry Pi pipeline handler and IPA source code into common and VC4/BCM2835 specific file structures. For the pipeline handler, the common code files now live in src/libcamera/pipeline/rpi/common/ and the VC4-specific files in src/libcamera/pipeline/rpi/vc4/. For the IPA, the common code files now live in src/ipa/rpi/{cam_helper,controller}/ and the vc4 specific files in src/ipa/rpi/vc4/. With this change, the camera tuning files are now installed under share/libcamera/ipa/rpi/vc4/. To build the pipeline and IPA, the meson configuration options have now changed from "raspberrypi" to "rpi/vc4": meson setup build -Dipas=rpi/vc4 -Dpipelines=rpi/vc4 Signed-off-by: Naushir Patuck <naush@raspberrypi.com> Reviewed-by: Jacopo Mondi <jacopo.mondi@ideasonboard.com> Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>

2022-05-04Documentation: Replace ’ by 'Quentin Schulz
Replace U+2019 unicode character (’; right single quotation mark) by U+27 unicode character ('; apostrophe) as it is what most people are used to in sentences. While Sphinx seems to be rendering both the same way, it makes it easier for searching in rST files directly.
